Your iMac is designed so that you can easily set it up and start using it right away. If you’ve never used an iMac or are new to Mac computers, read this chapter for instructions about getting started.

Important: Read all the setup instructions in this chapter and the safety information starting on page 66 before you plug your iMac into a power outlet.

If you are an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started. Make sure you look over the information in Chapter 2, “Life with Your iMac” on page 19 to find out about the new features of your iMac.

Answers to many questions can be found on your iMac in Help Center. For information about Help Center, see “Getting Answers” on page 34.

Remove any protective film from the outside of your iMac before you set it up.
